Cooking at Home…

Published on by byjoellaLeave a comment

We’ve been enjoying Sun Basket for awhile now.

In fact, the featured picture on this post was one of our Sun Basket meals we recently cooked at home, Sesame-crusted Salmon with Orange and Roasted Carrot Salad. It tasted AMAZING!

We were ready to add another company to supplement our Sun Basket meals. I did some searching and decided to give Home Chef a try. They ship for free if you order over $45, so I ordered the following meals for 2: a meal to cook, a “no cooking required” salad meal and 2 smoothies = free shipping!

Here’s what’s on our 1st Home Chef menu this week:
  1. Mojito Pork Chops
  2. Sesame Chicken Salad
  3. Strawberry Colada Smoothie(s)
The Home Chef menu will be added to our Sun Basket menu for this week:
  1. Shrimp tacos diablo with pickled cabbage & lime.
  2. Sicilian chicken breasts with salmoriglio sauce and broccoli.
  3. Piri-piri shrimp with curried sweet potato-coconut mash.

Home Chef will be our 4th meal kit company we’ve tried. Our first experience was Blue Apron, the second, Sun Basket (our favorite), and third was Green Chef. You can read about our experiences by clicking the preceding links.

Our first Home Chef shipment arrives this week, so be sure to check back to find out how our  meal kit experience with them goes.

Until next time….

Meal Time…

Published on by byjoellaLeave a comment

Rustic Country Market Living is focused on the home, so I couldn’t exclude home cooked meal time from my journal.

We live in a busy world. Many people juggle careers and family. Meal Time can be the center of life in a home. It can be a time when family and friends engage in one on one conversation while sharing a meal. That’s why the trend toward meal kit services caught my eye. My husband and I go out to eat too often, just so we can have time together without work. Planning our meals in advance and not having to spend the time shopping for the ingredients could be a huge time saver. It could also reduce that all too frequent question, “What do you want for dinner?” Granted, having to prepare our meal could be perceived as work, but we think it could be time well spent together!

I decided to try different meal kit services, and I want to share my experiences with the ones I try with you.

My Meal Kit Services Experiences:

  1. Blue Apron
  2. Sun Basket
  3. Green Chef
